    Well after about 2 weeks of dealing with the most disrespectful subaru dealership in the country, I decided to call Subaru of St. Cloud and had them find me a AW 08 STi. Muscatell subaru of moorhead said that there werent any within 500 miles of moorhead. St cloud came up with 4. 2 of which were what i actually wanted... BBS, NAV, and some other small stuff. The car still took about a week to get from Madison wisconsin.
    For Anyone interested in the 08's..DO NOT pay MSRP for one.. I paid $500 over invoice. about $2000 under MSRP.

    Well onto the pics! Didnt get any at the dealer but here are some with a couple mods.

    heh...nice plate!

    Some angle are really appealing and some make the thing look like a minivan! I still haven't seen one in person, so as of yet I'm undecided. But congrats!

    pics dont do justice for the car.....once you see one in person you'll love them......well if they have the bbs' anyways. I hate the stock wheels.

    Great idea with the mud flaps, it will save you some heartache down the road from paint chips due to the wide flared fenders. Its missing one thing though, there did you hide that that HUGE old wing! I guess you must of lost it with the old car!

    Congrat's, I enjoyed test driving one and I'm sure you will as well.

    i have red taillight film that i have yet to install....I ordered a AP from perrin but it was backordered for a week, but they shipped it today so i should get it wednesday. Tint will be coming soon as well...Thats it as of now.. I'll be getting a tbe as soon as more companies start producing products for the car.

    There are hardly any parts out for the car yet, Harman Motive makes the only TBE out for it right now and its backordered for awhile also.

    EDIT:


    So Far i love the car, the si drive is great, but the mpg sucks.... as far as the brakes, they seem to stop alot quicker than my 05 sti. and the car seems to hug the road alot better.
    Seats are also alot more cumfy, not made by recaro anymore but still very nice!

    wow, very nice!!!! Yeah, I agree one of the 1st mods should be to fix those tail lights.

    Congrats on new ride.

    Is this the 1st 08 STI on MNSubarudayoflivesjerryspringer-drama.com?

    x eleventy billion, I had the woman run there on friday to pick up new pedal covers and a fender plug and no one would point her to the parts dept. Instead they tried getting her to trade in her rav4 for a base model 2.5, lol.

    I agree i think the red would look better on white. The red looked pretty bad on the red car that was tried first. I was just throwing up the pic if no one had seen the 08 with films.

    thanks, I usually go with APS exhuast, so i might wait to see what they come out with..

    Heres a comparison of Red Vs. Tinted on Harman Motives website.

    the tinted with the black wheels looks really good i think.
    the red seems so bright.
